Xiao Qian managed to ignite the fight between Auntie Apo and the Old Rascal with just a few words.

This was due to her precise grasp of details, as she could deduce the general picture with just a glance.

When she first heard from the Old Rascal that Auntie Apo was a widow in this area, which had a large proportion of unmarried people, it was impressive that she managed to stay a widow.

There could be two reasons for this: one being her devotion and affection towards her deceased husband, and the other being that there was a compelling reason for her to stay unmarried.

However, irrespective of the reasons, she would definitely value chastity highly. Xiao Qian used this knowledge to provoke her, knowing that Auntie Apo would not start a fight easily.

Xiao Qian was right.

Auntie Apo belonged to the second category.

Auntie Apo had been a widow for many years here not because she was loyal. Rather, it was because her deceased husband’s family wielded significant power. Many people would be watching her, and if they knew about her actions, she would be severely punished.

The awkward expression on the Old Rascal’s face also made Xiao Qian smirk.

Except for the very wealthy, how many middle-aged unmarried men are normal? A normal person wouldn’t remain single. This old man attempted to harass her right off the bat. It’s common for such a lustful person to peek at a widow dressing or bathing. Even if he hadn’t done it, his character made it easy for people to believe he had.

She knew that provoking them in this direction wasn’t wrong.

Auntie Apo waved her whip and struck at the Old Rascal. The Old Rascal also fought back, picking up a brick from the ground and hitting Auntie Apo’s shoulder. She screamed in pain and immediately counterattacked.

Xiao Qian was extremely entertained by this farce of scoundrels fighting against each other.

It was a pleasing sight regardless of who won the fight between the two evil characters.

The fierce old woman used the whip for ranged attacks to make up for the gap in strength. The Old Rascal, however, was also not to be underestimated as he brandished the brick and struck Auntie Apo’s shoulder and chest, making both of them bleed.

They deserved it!

Xiao Qian was a vengeful person.

If someone hurt her, she would make them pay tenfold. Auntie Apo had merely touched her and was now being dealt with by Xiao Qian, suffering much more pain than she had inflicted.

While Auntie Apo and the Old Rascal were fighting, Xiao Qian just stood aside. Though her hands were tied and her legs could run, she did not run.

Everyone in the village was of the same character, and all of them were watching the “cargo”. Even if she escaped, she would still get beaten.

Xiao Qian just stood there, reveling in their brawling. The sight of their injuries delighted her.

She wouldn’t be satisfied unless one of them died, or better yet, both perished together.

After all, Auntie Apo was a woman, and she was injured and in pain. Worried about Xiao Qian running away, she became distracted and was punched in the nose by the Old Rascal, leaving her face covered in blood.

Xiao Qian couldn’t be happier.

Xiao Yu had initially wanted to claim that the red was her menstrual blood, but the foohsh Auntie Apo was easily provoked into a fight, and now she was injured!

Wasting such a good opportunity would be a disservice to Xiao Qian’s intelligence.

“Grandma Huang has revealed her divine power, Grandma Huang was right, we’ve seen the red, we’ve seen the red!” Xiao Qian shouted at the top of her ’ lungs.

When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Even as the boss, she had to play along with the charade.

Xiao Qian’s loud shouting attracted two men carrying baskets descending from the mountain. Coincidentally, these two men were relatives of Auntie Apo’s deceased husband.

“What’s going on with Third Brother’s family?” asked one of them, rushing over. The Old Rascal saw the situation turning unfavorable and quickly ran away.

This man holding a hoe was Auntie Apo’s deceased husband’s eldest brother, the village tyrant, an extremely fearful man.

He would bully and oppress others, and Auntie Apo was afraid to remarry because of him.

“Grandma Huang’s divine power is manifesting! Grandma Huang has said that this Old Rascal was peeping at her bathing! She’s trying to remarry!”

Xiao Qian’s words caused the fierce older man’s face to become solemn as he glared at Auntie Apo, who promptly fell to her knees.

“Eldest Brother, it’s not true! She’s talking nonsense!”

“Whether it’s nonsense or not, we can ask the people who saw Grandma Huang’s divine power! The whole village saw it!”

It was actually the whole village who saw Shi Touyu pretending to possess divine power, but Xiao Qian twisted the story to make it seem like the whole village saw Auntie Apo wanting to remarry. Xiao Qian’s manipulation skills were top-notch.

The village tyrant angrily kicked Auntie Apo, causing her to sit on the ground.

He stepped forward and slapped her face, exclaiming, “Shameless! Wanting to remarry at your age, how disgraceful! We’ll settle this account when we get home!”

Auntie Apo’s face turned the color of soy sauce as she begged for mercy, covered in blood.

Xiao Qian sneered inwardly.

Bullies always act like grandchildren in front of stronger people. Serves them right!

The village tyrant, carrying a hoe, pointed at the man who followed him, “Second Brother, you go after the Old Rascal. You get up, you disgrace!” He then turned to look at Xiao Qian, his eyes filled with malicious intent, as if he wanted to beat the nosy Xiao Qian.

“Grandma Huang said that anyone who beats me will have their line severed, their descendants wiped out. If you don’t believe me, you can ask this unvirtuous woman how she was beaten!” Xiao Qian knew that she would only get beaten more if she cowered now.

She saw the murderous intent in this fierce old man’s eyes. If she said the wrong thing, he could use a hoe to hit her.

Now it was time to gamble whether he was superstitious or not. Xiao Qian saw that his hoe was tied with a red cloth and guessed that he was a superstitious person.

She thanked Shi Touyu for teaching her about securing a red cloth to the bed during the time of a haunting, which had given her some knowledge about this.

This hoe had supposedly killed something powerful and terrifying, such as a snake or a weasel.

However, it wasn’t. It had killed something even more formidable and frightening.

As expected, the fierce old man turned to Auntie Apo, “What is she talking about?”

“Eldest Brother, this is the daughter-in-law I bought. You know that. She’s making things up! This jinx has brought nothing but trouble since she arrived!” Auntie Apo was beaten and bloodied, now afraid in her heart. Master Huang’s words seemed to have come true; they really had seen the red.

She raised her whip to strike Xiao Qian, but Xiao Qian could already tell they had been fooled by her words.

“Go ahead, hit me, and Grandma Huang will return tenfold onto your son. Try it! If you hit me, it means you want to curse your son to death and remarry!” “What did you say! Don’t you dare curse Du Gen’er!”

Du Gen’er was the foolish son.

You see the red and still don’t believe it. Fine, hit me more, the more red you’ll see. Bring it on.”

Xiao Qian smiled, knowing this was just the beginning.

With her exceptional intelligence, calm judgment, and luck from heaven, Xiao Qian successfully escaped the torment.

Her words kept Auntie Apo from daring to harm her further. Looking at Xiao Qian, her eyes now held a mix of unknown fear and hatred.

This was not a time to show weakness.

So Xiao Qian remained calm, concealing any signs of anxiety and walked with an air of regal confidence, following Auntie Apo back home.

However, her heart was far from calm, as the fierce old man also followed.

His presence made every pore of Xiao Qian’s body stand on end. She knew he was a terrifying person, an intuition that could not be ignored.. But no matter how frightening, she would face the challenge head-on and fight to the end!
